Man shot in Fox Den apartment complex

Thursday

The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that wounded a man about 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Fox Den apartments.

According to a release from Sgt. Michael McDaniel, deputies responding to the call found a 20-year-old man with a single gunshot wound to the inner thigh in the 200 block of Fox Trace Drive.

The man was transported to Doctors Hospital, and no information about the shooter's identity was available Thursday, McDaniel said.

The crime-ridden apartment complex off Jackson Road was the site of Operation Fox Hunt, an undercover sting operation conducted by the sheriff's office last year, and was the scene of the Feb. 1 officer-involved shooting death of Chaz Devell Williams.
